The Writing Desk

wtf, ff.net? what is your problem?

I thought we were above this. you haven't crapped out this badly in years.

Here's how it goes.
I started on ff.net in 2003 for things like Final Fantasy and Zelda games. and when I started reading Twilight mid 2006, I decided to come creeping on ff.net again. That was when I really started using the alert system and everything.

When I first started writing fanfiction was when I noticed what a crap place ff.net was, though it was the best source for fics. There were constantly problems, with trying to edit coduments properly, and with the whole alert system. It worked, then it didn't work.

AND THEN FOR A FEW MONTHS THEY MADE UPGRADES AND FOR A WHILE THERE IT WAS THE AWESOMEST PLACE TO WORK. Like really; there were never any glitches with the various alerts, there weren't anymore; hey you can't upload your documents problems. There weren't any problems with document manager.

They made updrades, like the beta reader profiles, which sounds like a really neat idea to me! I'm more of a freelance beta, so I didn't make a profile, but all of the upgrades and changes they made were so awesome

Then, after I posted the five new stories at once, I noticed the document manager was being a bitch.

and now this.
ff.net, you have gone back to your crappy ways.

why?!

My biggest problem with FF.net is that it's not a very user friendly site. I have no idea who the people running it are, how many people there are. I have no way of contacting anyone when there is something wrong! There used to be a 'if this problem persist please email us here:' thing, but  I have no way of getting that now.

i really think there should be some moderators, or administrators. Someone set for each category, each book, show, whatever. Someone with a penname, that we could pm, sort of like BK.  I'd like to see rules enforced, people kicking out the really awful fics that are pretty much breaking all rules (there was one where bella had sex with michael jackson and had a bunch of kids and then edward wanted her back, so she said okay, and mj was sad) -that one used to post a new story for each chapter. god.

But nooo.
and now, I'm not even sure that they know these problems are back. The news section on the front page hasn't been updated in a long time.

God. FF.net, if I didn't need you so badly to live, i'd be pissed and go somewhere else.
jeez.
